What weight of gloves do I need?
The information below is a guide for what we would recommend based on the activity you are doing:
10oz- bag/pad work
12oz- bag/pad work
14oz- bag/pad work/light sparring
16oz- bag/padwork/moderate to heavy sparring
18oz- bag/pad work/heavy sparring
20oz-bag/pad work/heavy sparring
Many people will own two pairs of gloves: a 10oz or 12oz for bag/pad work and a 14oz or 16oz for sparring. Many beginners just have one pair of gloves to start with, we recommend you choose a 14oz or a 16oz as these offer more protection when sparring.
The information above is just a guide and we advise that you ask your trainer before deciding on the weight of gloves you need.
